      o.k, because our site was built in WordPress.

      Any one know plugin that will allow me to add canonical tag for each post separately ?
      Its more plugin that will allow me access to the code of each post.

      Any one ?Thank you

          Hi Edmond

          You'd be able to use the copy without any problems, but you won't be able to rank for it specifically.  If that's not an issue, then read on.

          What I would do is add a canonical tag on your page back to the original press release.  You can read up on canonical tags here in this Moz guide.

          So say the press release is at this URL: http://www.pressreleasecompany.com/yourpressrelease

          You can take the press release and publish it on your own page, such as: http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpressrelease

          On your webpage, you would need to have the following code in the section of your HTML:

          rel="canonical" href="http://www.pressreleasecompany.com/yourpressrelease" />

          With that bit of code, you are letting Google know that you have taken the press release from elsewhere and that the original copy can be found there.  You are using the copy just to feature and add user experience to your website, and not to try and rank for any terms.

          Google will acknowledge the tag and will not penalise you (or reward you) for using the duplicate copy.  I think it's also a good idea to include a brief introduction to where the press release came from and what it is about before using the copy, just to show that you are citing your source.

          With those steps, you will be fine in mentioning external press releases about your company on your own site without risking being penalised.  Always a good idea not to overdo it, but with the canonical tag you won't be seen as duplicating content for nefarious or ranking means.

          Hope this helps.

            Blog.site.com vs site.com/blog

            Which is better for SEO: blog.site.com or site.com/blog.  In other words, is it better to have the blog running in a subdomain or as a director within the main site?  Right now we are running as a subdomain, but want to be sure Google isn't considering that a separate site.  The blog shows up separately on Google Analytics, which makes me think site.com/blog is better if for no other reason, it would give our domain greater traffic. Not sure if this matters, but some site info: our site is a sharing economy tool for renting your stuff we are running the blog on Wordpress blog traffic is about 5% of total traffic

            Breaking a Big Website into Multiple Unrelated Sites

            I have a big cluttered website that I want to simplify. There is content for patients, researchers, therapists who are looking for grants, etc.. Would it be a bad ideas to turn these into 3 or more, completely different sites with each focused on their specific demographic? Or should I just figure out how to organize the one site better? Thanks for your help!!!

            Can I post my MailChimp articles on my blog without getting hit for duplicate content?

            I would like to post my newsletters on my blog, but am afraid of duplicate content since you can click a link on the MailChimp email blast to view the Newsletter online. Is this considered dup content?

            How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?

            I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

            How many categories should you have within a blog / Wordpress Site for SEO?

            Hi Guys I am just wondering whether or not for SEO purposes it is better to have a small number of categories for your blog posts to fit into as opposed to numerous ones.  The reason I ask is that I have one site which is fairly new to the search engines - 8 months old which has 7 general categories within the blog for instance "rail contractors", "railway construction" "airport construction" etc   I have another site which is 10 years old which has built up 25 different types of categories for instance brand design, brand development, brand management (i guess you could put all these under 1 category "branding"?  We've been writing lots of press for both sites... yet the younger site is getting more coverage on Google page 1.  Would this be because the blogs / press are more concentrated under a specific category as opposed to being spread thinly throughout the site? Any help would be appreciated. Debs 🙂

            Publishing on sites with greater domain authority

            Hello, I had an idea, probably not original: While my website is still gaining domain authority, I was thinking about publishing articles in a website with great domain authority that allows articles from third parties. This way the article's relevance + domain authority of the site would result in a better position on Google for the article I write and with proper links, I can attract people to my website. This would be a temporary strategy until my website's domain authority increases. Any suggestions on how to do this? Where can I publish articles to attract people to my website (except blogs)? Thanks a lot.

            How many pages is too many to add to a site at one time?

            I have quite a bit of excellent content articles at my disposal and we would like to increase the number of pages on our site. I could, theoretically add 100's of pages at a time. Does anyone have a good sense of how much content added to a sight in mass looks bad to Google? My plan is to add approximately 50 pages a week to our site, which already has 4000 pages of content. This is relevant content, since we are a custom writing service and all topics are covered. Our content is what gives us great organic hits and orders. However, I would like to add more than 50 a week...how many is too many? Thanks and I appreciate thoughts and feedback! Karen
